Marty Robbins
Anthem Music Publishing has acquired a catalog of songs from legendary country and western singer-songwriter Marty Robbins.
Among the standout titles is “Big Iron,” Robbins’ 1960 classic that reached No. 5 on the U.S. Country chart and peaked at No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was introduced to a new generation of fans with its feature in the 2010 video game Fallout: New Vegas.
Also included is the groundbreaking hit “El Paso,” released by Columbia Records in 1959, which topped both the Billboard Hot 100 and U.S. Country charts. The song earned Robbins the 1961 Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998. “My Woman, My Woman, My Wife,” a deeply personal ballad that reached No. 1 on the U.S. Country chart, is also included. The track earned Robbins his second Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording in 1970.
“Marty Robbins was a towering figure in American music – an artist whose storytelling transcended genre and era. His songs are woven into the fabric of country and western music heritage, and continue to influence artists and resonate with fans to this day,” says Jason Klein, CEO of Anthem Music Group.
“We’re honored to see Marty’s music find a new home with Anthem Music Publishing. His songs have stood the test of time, captivating generations with their vivid storytelling and emotional depth. We’re confident that Anthem will not only preserve Marty’s legacy, but elevate it—introducing his work to new audiences while honoring the timeless spirit of the originals,” states the Marty Robbins Estate. “Marty’s music has always belonged to the people, and we believe Anthem shares that same dedication to keeping it alive for generations to come.”
